On July 24, 2015, an investigator from the Westchester County District Attorney's Office downloaded child pornography from an IP (internet protocol) address in Westchester County.

The District Attorney's Office began its investigation and pursuant to a subpoena, it was determined that the IP address was assigned to the defendant's home.

A search warrant was subsequently executed at the defendant's home address.

A forensic examination of computers and external hard drives removed from the location revealed digital files of children who are less than sixteen years of age engaged in child pornography.

The defendant was arraigned in Dobbs Ferry Village Court.

Bail was set at $10,000 cash.

His next court date is Nov. 19, 2015.

He faces a maximum sentence of seven years in state prison.

Assistant District Attorney Laura Forbes of the High Technology Crime Bureau, is prosecuting the case.
